abstract

We show that it is possible to significantly improve the accuracy of a general class of histogram queries while satisfying differential privacy. Our approach carefully chooses a set of queries to evaluate, and then exploits consistency constraints that should hold over the noisy output. In a post-processing phase, we compute the consistent input most likely to have produced the noisy output. The final output is differentially-private and consistent, but in addition, it is often much more accurate. We show, both theoretically and experimentally, that these techniques can be used for estimating the degree sequence of a graph very precisely, and for computing a histogram that can support arbitrary range queries accurately.

Differentially Private Motif-Preserving Multi-modal Hashing

cs.IR · 2026-05-14 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

DMP-MH clips degrees to control triangle sensitivity, synthesizes an edge-DP graph with Noisy Mirror Descent, and distills it into dual-stream hash networks, beating private baselines by up to 11.4 mAP on MIRFlickr-25K and NUS-WIDE while keeping 92.5% of non-private performance.
